Microbial Matters in a Changing Climate

This years honours students from the school of BABS at UNSW delivered some incredible honours talks, being kicked off by our very own Max Reinold. Max highlighted the some of the climate and extreme weather threats that place evolutionary and ecologically important sites at risk, relating these risks to the stress mechanisms and diversity of Shark Bay microbial mats. Max has been working on 8 years worth of metagenomic data taken from Shark Bay, a massive undertaking in such a short honours year. Excited to see what comes next Max!
